New molecular arrays based on a tin(IV) porphyrin scaffold

Research has been conducted on the porphyrin arrays, a hexamer and a nonamer. The synthesis and characterization of these arrays have been carried out via elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods, and the results indicate that the construction scheme of these arrays involves sequential organic and inorganic reactions performed at the central tin(IV) ion of the porphyrin scaffold and at the peripheral meso-phenyl ring.
